Quick, quick, quick, [laughter] quick, quick. >> Hey, don't touch me. >> Hey, leave. Do not touch him. >> We going in. We going in. >> We're going TO START DRIVING. >> HUH? >> ON NOVEMBER 27TH, 2024, deputies responded to a welfare check involving a woman at a Publix grocery store. The woman's family allegedly called after her strange behavior. Upon contact, the defendant became irate, stating that she did not need assistance. She began loudly screaming profanities throughout the store, prompting the on-duty manager to request that she be trespassed from the premises. >> I would like to call my personal lawyer to have a conversation with you. >> Yes. >> I would love to hear it. >> Never mind. So, you want to try and have this talk with the problem, sir? You want to do it in public? Go in the parking lot so they can shoot me like Michael Brown. They might. Uh, more of them keep coming. Quick, quick, quick, quick, [laughter] QUICK. QUICK, QUICK, QUICK, QUICK, QUICK. >> [laughter] >> She asked me where I keep my gun, though. >> Are you okay? Are you okay? Do you want to >> Why you talk like that? Why you act so bad? Why you walk like that? >> All right. You're trespassed. >> Yeah, we can do that. We can do that. Cuz if you want to carry on, we're just going to have a civil conversation with you, but if you want to carry on >> Okay, I'm trying to bring that young girl from here. >> No, we'll just have you trespassed and then we'll have >> Okay, thank you. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Baby. >> No, you can leave all that here. You can have We're not pursuing you. Bring your >> Bring your purse. >> She asked me where I keep my gun, though. Oh. I don't talk about that. I'm a sneaky >> Okay. >> I'm a ass too fat. Started out having fun, though. She asked me where I keep my blood, though. >> This is the moment where the situation takes a major turn. The store manager has already indicated that she is no longer welcome on the property, meaning the deputies are now trying to enforce that request. At this point, the simplest outcome would have been to collect her belongings, walk outside, and leave. Instead, we're hearing repeated commands for her to stand up and leave, followed by resistance and an increasingly tense confrontation. That's important because a trespass situation isn't automatically a dramatic arrest. The person's conduct after being warned and directed to leave can become the critical issue. From the footage, the officers are giving her an opportunity to comply. The question for viewers is simple. Would you have just walked out, or do you think the officers were escalating this unnecessarily? >> Are you manager? >> Yeah. >> Would you like her to leave at all? >> Yeah, that'd be >> Yeah, that'd be fine. >> Okay. >> I mean, she's She's going to be I don't think she's going to stop. Yeah, but she asked me like for stuff, and that's why that was the one I was selling her. >> Yeah, yeah. >> Yeah, yeah, y'all can trespass her. >> Okay. Once I tell her to leave, I'm going to grab her stuff and go. >> Yeah. >> Cool. >> Hello. And this is got a letter, a letter. >> All right. We're walking outside. Come on. >> And this is got a letter, a letter. >> Hey, leave. Do not touch him. What are you doing? >> Gymnastics. >> Stand up and walk. >> [laughter] >> If you don't get up and leave, you're going to go to jail. Come on. Come on. Stop. Stop. Ridiculous. >> Come on, be an adult. We'll call you back. >> It's her dad. Ridiculous. >> All right, drop the ball. >> Now the situation has gone far beyond simply refusing to leave a grocery store. The statements being made here are becoming increasingly aggressive, including threats directed toward another person. That matters because officers aren't just dealing with a customer who doesn't want to leave anymore. They're documenting behavior that could potentially create additional legal concerns, depending on exactly what was said, who it was directed toward, and what evidence exists. At the same time, officers still have to distinguish between offensive speech and conduct that actually satisfies the elements of a criminal offense. That's an important legal distinction viewers should keep in mind. Being angry, insulting, or saying something outrageous doesn't automatically make every statement a crime. But once physical contact, resistance, or specific threats enter the picture, the legal situation can change quickly. >> I'm not playing >> 402 >> 515 Hello, [ __ ] Hey, hi. How you doing? If we SEE US BABY >> IS SHE SECURE? >> SHE GOT HER ON THE TOILET. >> 402 >> JUMP ON THE SEAT LIKE A [ __ ] >> LET'S GO AHEAD AND MAKE HER AN INMATE PROFILE. >> OFFICER BROWN SAID I'M GOING TO BREAK OUT OF JAIL. FROM MY FEET. THAT'S WHAT SHE PROBABLY DID. I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVING. TELL THEM IN THE CRIB. TELL THEM IN THE KITCHEN. >> GIVE ME my car. >> WE GOING IN. WE GOING IN. >> DID YOU SEARCH HER ALREADY? DID YOU SEARCH HER ALREADY? >> First off, >> I walked out. I saw it. I was like, "Yo, you Are you the soprano? >> Hello, [ __ ] Hey, hi. How you doing? If we see us baby, come and take us in urine. >> Is that the scripture? The Bible? >> From Michael Brown's diary, you little Yes. I read it, [ __ ] Okay. Hello, [ __ ] Hey, hi. How Max Miller doing? >> I guess Michael Brown actually to put in one of the chapters. >> Yeah. >> Get get [ __ ] >> Are you ready ready? >> Yeah. >> I just want to make sure we >> you have a battery charger for her to talk to you? >> Yeah, because I just fell. You better not say I hit anybody. I'd collapse. >> Oh, no. >> Here the officer lays out the basic reason for the arrest. According to his account, she was told to leave the property, refused to do so, made physical contact, and resisted during the encounter. That sequence is important because the arrest isn't being presented as simply punishment for being rude or argumentative. The officer is identifying specific conduct that he says occurred after the initial welfare check. The transcript later identifies the charges as trespassing and resisting officers. Of course, the ultimate legal determination would depend on the applicable law, evidence, and court proceedings, not simply what an officer says at the scene. But from a body camera perspective, this is where the consequences become very real. What began inside a grocery store has now turned into a trip to jail. Was this arrest avoidable? That's the question. >> And you got anything in your pockets that are going to poke me, harm me, or blow me up? >> I might suck you. >> Well, thank you. >> I love [ __ ] >> Hey, hi. Are you taking me to Emily Oliver? >> Who? >> Emily Oliver? >> Close. St. Johns County Jail. Well, we we do crime first before >> you taking me to jail? >> Because you resisted. >> I didn't >> you to leave the property. You didn't want to leave the property. Then you touched somebody, and then you fell on the ground like a child. >> You want to call me and not be an adult. Now you're going to go to jail for trespassing after warning, and probably resisting with violence. >> We could have had that conversation if you had just not >> sold me as a [ __ ] kid. Why did my parents have the sex shop in there? >> I don't Can you unlock the door? >> her that question? Why did do parents have the sex shop in >> We could have HAD A ADULT >> OH, you could have been a [ __ ] gangster. >> Bye. Nobody wants to hear it. >> All right. I'm going to trespass warning real quick. Do you want some coffee? >> Okay. Uh That's That's That's exciting. >> They're going to jail, right? >> Did she tell you that? >> I don't know. >> Is she going to be a medical >> We believe so. >> No. No. >> No, medical for what? >> What did she >> Dude, we were there for a while. >> know if she was drunk or if she was >> We asked her if she needed help. If I asked her if she was She said I was sex >> I think [ __ ] you. >> All right. >> I don't have to >> No, don't forget this. >> You have nothing to want to turn over to the officer. >> So then, I asked her if she wanted to have a conversation outside, then it turned into hostile. So, now we just trespass her. >> And she had no problem >> And then she refused. >> She had no problem shopping, so she was on the way out. >> I don't know. I'm not worried. I didn't mean that medical to make it a problem. >> [laughter] >> Oh, no. >> Man, I don't care about that. >> Oh, I thought you meant like No, bro. BA's out the door. >> No, she she she been >> Bro, BA's out the door. >> No, no, no. >> She She missed out. >> No, that flew out the door about 30 seconds ago. >> Yeah, no, no. That's not what I meant. I just meant like I hope she's not a freaking >> This part adds an important layer to the story because we're finally hearing why the encounter began in the first place. According to the deputies, members of the woman's family were concerned enough about her behavior that they contacted authorities and were apparently trying to locate her. That doesn't automatically establish a medical condition or proof that anything was wrong with her, but it does explain why this began as a welfare related call rather than a straightforward criminal investigation. The officers appear to have initially been trying to talk with her and determine what was happening. Unfortunately, the interaction moved in a completely different direction once the store wanted her removed and she refused to cooperate. It raises an interesting question. If she had simply accepted the request to leave, would this entire arrest have happened? >> She's freaking out. She's crazy. Let me give you one of my business cards. Perfect. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. Yeah. Her Her family's all inside of CVS. They called worried about her. They want to find her. They got her on life 260 and family's been calling me back and all crazy. So, we're going to I'll give her the name of I hope she's not a freaking >> I would just tell the jail if you tell the jail she's uncooperative, they'll get you out of her car faster. >> Yep. >> Cuz she is uncooperative. >> This your first ride along? >> No. >> Oh, okay. What are you here for? If you don't mind me asking. You friends with Addy or >> No, just doing a ride along. I'm trying to get into the agency. >> Hell yeah, man. Welcome. What you doing? This is We do a lot of crazies. >> There's an important legal point buried in this part of the footage. Officers can't simply manufacture a trespassing case without the necessary facts. The store or an authorized representative generally needs to establish that the person was not permitted to remain and the circumstances surrounding the warning and refusal matter. That's why the manager's involvement earlier is significant. The manager specifically indicated that the woman should leave and that she was being trespassed from the property. Once that instruction is communicated and the person refuses to comply, the situation can move from a simple request to leave toward potential criminal enforcement depending on the jurisdiction and circumstances. The footage also shows officers continuing to document what happened and communicate with others involved. So, while the encounter may look chaotic, there is a legal process developing underneath all the shouting. >> But, we can't necessarily do that for her because we have to have a complaint. We have to have somebody saying that she was acting >> Yeah, go get your [ __ ] Jehovah's Witnesses. Go get them. Ask me why the skirt. Satan the devil that I worship the [ __ ] devil up and that's why you were >> 47 76 >> Hey, hey, hey, hey, stop talking. >> I'm the wrong guy. As long as the police >> Can I just switch to 86 and Anna is going to be 10-15? >> For my dad, Adam, the biggest ass piece of [ __ ] follower you ever meet. My [ __ ] sister was 11 years old when he got her ass all the She thinks it's cool. Y'all think it's >> Yo, Anna. Anna. What do you want to listen to? Your favorite song, come on. >> Oh, yeah. I'm a bad >> Duh. >> I like cats. >> Cats, you want cat songs? >> Yeah. >> What do you want to listen to, Anna? What was she rapping to? Was that Lil Wayne? Hey, you want to listen to Lil Wayne? >> Hello, [ __ ] Hey, hi, hello. It's Jackson. Can I call my friends, Jackson? [ __ ] you guys. Go [ __ ] yourselves. You're a little brat. >> You like Lil Wayne? Are you going to be cool inside or not? Whiskey foxtrot, semi-cooperative. Are you going to be cool inside? Are you going to be cool inside? >> When the nurse comes out and gets I'm not getting you being here on previous mental health or not. >> No. >> Okay, they'll come out. It's also pretty nice where you have to stay in the car just waiting on the report and stuff. Um, you can also turn your camera off once you're here, but whenever it's a female, I don't. I just If it was a male, we just turn it off, and but you know, females always say stuff later on, so you always going to stay on. But yeah, they'll come out, and nurses will come out, and I leave her here now. >> And that's where this encounter ultimately ends. According to the closing information in the footage, the woman was transported to the St. Johns County Jail and charged with trespassing and resisting officers. What began as a welfare check after concerns were reportedly raised by her family turned into a confrontation at the grocery store after management requested that she leave the property. From there, the repeated refusal to leave, physical resistance, and escalating behavior led to her arrest. The biggest takeaway is that a situation that starts relatively small can become much more serious when someone refuses lawful directions and the encounter escalates. At the same time, every criminal allegation still has to be evaluated through the applicable law and evidence. What do you think? Could this entire situation have been avoided?
